India confirms examination of Bangladesh request to extradite Sheikh Hasina

The Indian Ministry of External Affairs stated on Tuesday that it is examining a request from the Bangladesh government for the extradition of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The announcement followed a meeting between Indian High Commissioner Dinesh Trivedi and Bangladesh Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, during which the extradition was discussed. Sheikh Hasina has resided in India since August 2024, when she left Bangladesh following widespread anti-government protests that led to the collapse of her administration.
